Our skin is literally crawling with microscopic mites. Human beings host two species of mites, which are commonly called face mites or follicle mites. And they aren’t called face mites for nothing!
They do prefer to live on our faces, ideally near the eyes or nose. The older you are, the more face mites you have tucked away in your facial follicles, research shows. Newborn babies are mite-free, but by age 60, virtually all humans are infested with face mites. Face mites are believed to spread from person to person via close contact. So if you’re out together dancing cheek to cheek, you may also be sharing face mites with your partner.
The Discovery of Face Mites
We’ve known about face mites since the early 1840’s, thanks to their near simultaneous discovery by two scientists. In 1841, Professor Frederick Henle was probably startled when he found the tiny parasites living in earwax, and apparently, wasn’t quite sure how to classify them within the animal kingdom.
